A one-stop source for essential information on the history, geography, politics, religion, economy, and culture of the fourth most populous country in the world. It's the "little giant" of Southeast Asia, with beautiful temples, breathtaking scenery, and a rich culture. But it's also a widely dispersed island-nation with grinding poverty, endemic corruption, bloody secessionist movements, and growing Islamic militancy. Indonesia examines pre-colonial periods of the country's development, as well as its independence movement.

Review
“Drawing on 30-plus years of experience in education as both a teacher and a counselor, Tauber presents a text for those who are new to teaching or who have had little coursework in discipline. In addition to expanding and updating the existing material, the fourth edition includes three new chapters on democracy and schooling, and how democracy impacts discipline; acting and discipline, and how teachers can use acting/performance skills to engage students and handle discipline problems; and the growing problem of bullying in schools.”–Reference & Research Book News --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
